Jibe  provides cloud-based recruiting technology solutions that enable talent acquisition teams to strategically identify, attract and engage candidates. Join us April 10th 2014 at 3pm to talk Big Data on Twitter using the hashtag #BigDataHR and  join our webinar, “What’s the Big Deal with Big Data in HR Recruiting” on April 17th at 11a EST. Follow the week by  bookmarking us!   Big Data is a big deal and is fascinating: the amount of data created in 2012 was 2.8 zettabytes and this number will double again by 2015. However, to have a clear idea of what big data is about, you may want to read the very good Wikipedia article on the topic. It reminds us that Big Data usually includes data sets with sizes beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, curate, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Are we really faced with this problem in HR? Maybe not and certainly not in talent acquisition, which is the area I focus on. HR Data today â€" not that big after all Even if you have 10,000 job openings and get 100 candidates per job opening, we are only speaking of data related to one million candidates. If you are adding to the mix candidates you had over the last few years, you might be dealing with 5 million candidates. This is not that much. Capturing, curating or analyzing such data set doesnt require rocket scientists. Its not because the HR systems that you use rarely do a good job at it that you should jump to the conclusion that you have to buy expensive tools You may just be adding a Rube Goldberg machine to a kludge Also, anyway, the best analytics tools applied to irrelevant or mediocre data will give you mediocre results. Yet, the marketing popularity of big data in HR has the positive effect side of urging people to realize their real and basic data problem: companies have a lot of data, yet very little information because this data is not sufficient or not actionable. The big data hype in HR should be the opportunity to keep your feet firmly on the ground, revisit the simple notion of business intelligence and start to think about to what it should be applied. Your need is not about statistically inferring laws from large data sets but about talent analytics and about leveraging descriptive statistics to measure actions, identify trends and define business goals. Datafication of Talent Acquisition Lets not put the cart before the horse. How much data do you have in the first place? How do you to datafy talent acquisition in the first place? Here are two important areas that you should look at regarding 1)  General SEO statistics and 2)  Candidates behavior and activities. General SEO Statistics Here a select of typical information provided by DirectEmployers to its members: Pages Indexed: Amount of unique pages that Google (or a search engine) sees from your site. The amount of unique pages that their bots crawl is the pages indexed for that site. Impressions: How many times a .JOBS microsite was presented to a job seeker on Google, could be loosely defined as how many times did you rank well enough in a Google search to be seen. Visits: How many people visited this site, if a person visits multiple times it counts towards the total Conversions: How many people click apply on a job, click your talent network button, or click on one of your social media links at the bottom of the microsites. In the same way, its important for you to identify your top referral sources, your best keywords, or candidates geographies. Candidates Behavior and Activities Talent acquisition is all about attracting, managing and pampering passive candidates. Here is a short list of what you should be measuring today: Opt-ins (application driven/not application driven) Drop-off and Opt-outs of your talent pools Profile completion, additions, updates Attendance to your webinars and events Sharing of your job posts, your events, or your blog posts by passive candidates Job matching results when you match a job against your talent pool Follow up on your job and event notifications or on your mailings Activity level of individual candidates or sets of candidates Sign up to your circles Etc In short, you can track a few hundred data point and actions about candidates, which gives you lots of combinations, of course. Yet, none of this is complicated when you use products that give you access to this data. You do not need to be a data geek, you just need to define your business objectives and look at the data to see if what you do is efficient. For example, does your talent pool provide you with enough candidates to fill the positions that planned by your company? If not, what can you do? Enhance your content marketing to attract more people? Change the title of your email campaigns to make it sound less salesy? Adjust your job description? Open up to different profiles? Be less dogmatic about existing skill sets and more open to identifying potential in candidates? Of Course, No Datafication if You Dont Have Free Access to Your Data Datafying human resources is not difficult and can be exciting. Its what marketing started three decades ago. However the ability to identify the metrics and measures that will define success or efficiency and will enable you to define your continuous improvement strategy is predicated upon one single thing: the ability for you to have the data. The number 1 problem in HR today is not big data, because its not big. Its the ability for companies to have easy access to their own data as they wish, the way they want and as often as they want. True data analysis is predicated upon free open APIs. If you are serious about the datafication of your recruiting efforts, this should be your #1 demand from any vendor! The HR industry is one of the latest bastions of archaism where vendors lock clients by locking their data and forcing them into exorbitant integration/extraction fees each time they want to do something that might be out of their control. So, free your data first from your vendors grip if you want the freedom to analyze what they mean and think of the ways you could improve your processes! Beware the Goldberg machines!

5 Ways to make telecommuting better

5 Ways to improve working from home I have this thought I am going to begin telecommuting. I attempted to go into the workplace. Be that as it may, the main alone time I have in my day is the time Im not with the children, and in the event that I invest my alone energy with others, at that point I dont have alone time and I begin to frenzy, and I do things like tell the person in the block close to me that he cannot converse with me. 1. Get a spot where you can focus. So I had a go at telecommuting, however then I began feeling like I am the most alone individual on the planet. So I thought Id switch things up a bit; Id telecommute, yet the ranchers home. I call him to let him know Im going to his home early. How early? he inquires. Presently. Dont you need to work today? Im not heading off to the workplace any more. I dont need to converse with individuals. There is a beat of quiet, and I think the rancher is going to state something. Or then again perhaps the quietness is long enough that he is thinking I am going to talk. He has requested that I not talk over him, however I make some hard memories advising in the event that it is his chance to talk or mine. I begin to freeze on the grounds that the cadence of discussion is getting unpredictable, so I state, Okay. Bye. What's more, I hang up before he can say whatever else. I note to myself this is the fourth discussion in succession that I didn't talk over him. I stop at the service station by his home. I have enough gas to get to his home, yet insufficient gas to get lost and get to his home, which shouldnt occur, yet on the off chance that it did, it would be terrible in light of the fact that I despite everything don't have a winter coat. I don't know why I dont have a winter coat. I think it is on the grounds that its so chilly that I cannot stand being outside for more than five or ten seconds. So on the off chance that Im just going to be outside for a couple of moments, at that point I dont need a coat. The rancher continues revealing to me that it is so risky to go without a winter coat. I show him Im focusing on the risks of the virus by being certain to not come up short on gas on a remote nation street. 2. Have closeness to an espresso source. I get to his home. I put my stuff down in the kitchen and I make espresso. The rancher comes in. He kisses me hi. At that point he wipes up where I spilled water by the espresso creator. At a certain point, we had a contention about his cleaning up around me constantly. I never wipe the table at supper where you spill, I said. What? he said. It is safe to say that you are joking? I never spill. Indeed, you do. No, I dont. You spill pretty much every time you do anything in the kitchen. That isn't typical. I spill more than others? Indeed. Grown-ups dont spill. When he disclosed to me this, I saw that I really spill something each supper. Here and there a few times. I never saw that others dont do it until the rancher let me know. So now, him cleaning up the water on the counter feels personal: he realizes me so well. 3. Have great food, quick Internet, and a couch for keeping away from both. He discloses to me that he is highly involved with moving pigs, and damnation return to the house for lunch. I need to inquire as to whether hes taking a shot at getting an Internet association in such a case that Im going to telecommute from his home, I need Internet. In any case, he generally feels like Im pushing, and afterward he pushes back. So I choose to ask him while hes having lunch. He is simpler to converse with if hes strolling or eating and its too cold to even think about walking outside. I lie on the ranchers couch and think. The fields are white and moving, with bits of old corn stalks jabbing out. The cows are distant, nearly at the skyline: earthy colored specks moving gradually to yellow spots of feed. I gaze out the window long enough that the rancher drives by on the tractor. Stops at the animal dwellingplace. Pets the jackass. Comes in for lunch. Since this is an extemporaneous visit, there is no food to eat aside from hamburger. That is all he keeps in his home. All things considered, hamburger and Frosted Flakes and Dora the Explorer treats, from the last opportunity that I came here with my children. He cooks burgers for us. He discloses to me he didn't indent the pigs ears in the last litter since he was so occupied managing me. He reveals to me he has never had a litter of pigs unnotched. Ever. Unnotched isn't his statement. Its mine. I overlook the word he employments. 4. Have a scratch pad for thoughts that you put something aside for when youre with individuals. At that point he plunks down to lunch and I attempt to not raise troublesome stuff to discuss in light of the fact that I can see that he is as of now unhinged that the pigs are unnotched. Be that as it may, after three chomps I can't keep down: I have a rundown of things we have to do so I can move into your home. He takes a gander at me. Puts his fork down. Takes a full breath. Lets see it. I need to peruse it to you. He looks. Its in shorthand. Not standard shorthand but rather the shorthand I developed to take notes at school in light of the fact that the manner in which I traversed school was by retaining each talk in exactly the same words and afterward spewing it to educators on article tests. I find that my shorthand is likewise useful for composing private notes to myself. Presently I can have my rundown out, at the table, however the rancher can't understand it so I can reveal to him just the measure of things I figure he can deal with without going crazy over how hard it is for me to move to his home. I let him know, Well. The Internet. That is a simple one. He gets his fork. Takes a nibble. Alright. What else? The warming needs to work. OK. We need to discuss that. About what it intends to you to be working. OK. Lets talk about that now. To start with, mention to me what else is on the rundown. Not so much. I don't get your meaning not unreasonably much? I see you have insane recording the entire page. That looks long. Hes right. I reveal to him its a mystery. He shakes his head and snickers. I reveal to myself I need to build up a shorthand sign for fertilizer, since I need him to not put it so near the house. I think its causing an issue with flies. Which I as of now have a shorthand sign for in light of the fact that I had a history educator who consistently utilized the expression contradicts . . . . 5. Discover balance: Calm/energizing, gab/calm, individuals/no individuals. After lunch we sit on the couch and discussion about brushing. He is considering eating pigs with steers this mid year. Individuals dont for the most part do it. He isn't sure how he needs to oversee it. He jumps at the chance to have fascinating tasks on the homestead. He is interested and prefers the eccentric edge of ranch life. Yet, he is continually attempting to make sense of how to offset his interest with his requirement for strength. He says, Okay. I need to return out at this point. I state, Five additional minutes. He says, Youre making some hard memories changing to work, arent you? He says, Do you need me to lie on you? I gesture yes. So I lie on the couch and he puts the pads on me and afterward lies on the pads, and the weight from the pads resembles a major crush without the social contribution of feeling an individual too. The rancher found this stunt by perusing Temple Grandins strategy for working with steers. It works with me, as well. At that point he leaves and starts arranging pigs, and I take a seat at the table and begin composing.
